Summary

This study looked at 44 people aged 18-28 who had a canine tooth stuck in the roof of their mouth. Researchers compared the usual way of pulling the tooth into place with a method that uses a small surgical cut (corticotomy) to speed things up. They measured changes in tooth position and alignment to see which method works better.
